DVD Cool News #149

Iffin' you saw Oliver Stone's latest, hit us up with a Strike Back below. I'd read the forums but reading forums can actually make you sterile. Did you like the flick? What did or didn't you like about it? Was it respectful? Does Nicolas Cage pull off the moustache look? How do you feel about Oliver Stone wanting to do another WTC movie? What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me? Here are the special edition extras. The standard release includes everything on Disc 1.

The Wicker Man - December 19

It's a Nicolas Cage one-two punch today. You get Nic with moustache, Nic without. It's too bad he doesn't do more commentaries. On the plus side, we at JoBlo.com love Leelee Sobelioni and her very understated love pillows. Of course that has nothing to do with anything, that's what we at JoBlo.com do. Okay, that's what I do.

Here are the detailed specs for Shymalallalalala's latest release that we reported on last week.

Reflections of Lady in the Water 6-Part Documentary

The Simpsons (S9) - December 5

Pretty slow week for cool shit coming out, THE SIMPSONS season 9 set will be released with your choice of the Lisa noggin' or some plain old packaging. Dig the packaging a lot more than just a character's head. I might come home completely shit housed one night and think there's a severed head on my DVD shelf. Or I might get kinky with it AMERICAN PSYCHO style. If you've read the book, you know what I'm talking about. For complete disc by disc details, CLICK HERE.

Includes:

A Riff from Matt Groening – Introduction to the set

Commentaries by various staff members and voice actors on every episode

Reservoir Dogs (SE): Not much in the way of extras, but the packaging totally makes up for it. OUT NOW!!!

Total Recall (SE): If we ever meet in person, I do the greatest Ah-nuld impression ever. Love Total Recall, "Consider dis a divorce". Awesome. OUT NOW!!!That's My Bush: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's riff on sitcoms and the president. OUT NOW!!!SNL: Best of Saturday TV Funhouse: Considering SNL is dying a slow painful death, it makes sense to start releasing DVDs when the show was actually funny and had talent. OUT NOW!!!
